The self-pltying habit is every whit as demoralizing as the dope habit and it is a lot harder on the fam- ily and friends of the addict.

ITIWAIT VAN ‘I VIII b CHAPTER. XXII JWhos, Bluebell — steady old Evan rained in the chestnut mm and swung into the saddle. Be nt- tled himself, but seemed distinctly nervous as the animal danced be- neath him. Anne, mounted on Bonnie, said, "Bluebell hasn't been ridden for weeks. She's a bit spirited." As they rode out of the stable yard. she could see that Evan's mount was still giving him trouble. She thought of the last time she had seen Mont astrlde the same horse With what quiet skill he had handled the lively marel Evan slui- ply hadn't the knack. en Evan, after dinner, had hinted that he would like to go for a ride with her. she had accepted the suggestion with some misgivings. She wanted an opportunity to talk to him alone, yet she feared Mont might not like their going off to- gether. The meeting between the two men hadn't gone well at all. There had been an undeniable tenslmLThls had continued throughout dinner. In fact, Linda was the only person at the table who had seemed perfectly at ease. Mont had been pleasant enough but. several times. Anne had caught him eying Evan rather re- sentfully. Then. immediately after dinner. he had announced that he had to go into Breckenridge and had departed. Anne had thought it a bit rude. Couldn't he have postponed his errand until a time when they didn't have guests? "Let's ride over to the back part of the place," suggested Evan. "It's been a long time since you and I have done that, Anne." “Yes-a long time," she agreed absently, still thinking of Mont, try- ing to decide whether or not he re- sented Evan's presence at Fleetwooc. They followed a narrow lane which skirted a pasture fence. After a mile or so, they entered a section sf woods and rode along a winding I‘ ail. At length. Evan halted under I hickory tree draped with wild grapsvines. Near by. was a little spring that gurgled from the ground under a canopy of twisting vines. "Our picnic grounds." he said. smiling reminiscently, “Shall we get down for a while?" They dismounted and hitched their horses to a tree Seated beside the spring, Anne thought of another summer after- noon when she and Evan had visited this spot. He had told her of his love that day and had asked her to marry him. She had put him off, saying that she wanted to wait a while-to have a try at a career be- fore settling clown. But it had been a magic afternoon. She remembered how deeply she had been stirred. Now the magic was gone. Here was the same Evan, but he no longer had the power to move her. With a stick. he poked a hickory nut about among the leaves on the ground. "When were you married?" he asked suddenly. “The middle of June." Anne found herself telling him of Mom's coming to Pleetwcod in April and of the events which had led up to their marriage. l-le was silent a while. then said, " 1d Linda tell you I'd broken my engagement?" She caught her breath, glanced at him quickly. Why should the breaking of his engagement to Pam- ela Gordon mean anything to her now? And. yet, she was conscious of a certain satisfaction that the girl who had taken him from her had been unable to hold him.
